In fact, most european languages have very well-defined and predictable
pronounciation rules. If you see an unfamiliar word, you might not know what it
means but you can always pronounce it correctly. The big exception? English.
Unless you know how a particular word is pronounced, it's often a toss-up.

(and he's right, you obviously haven't heard much spoken french if you're in any
way serious in your comment :)
